I did continue it here: https://github.com/JoycieC/PHBankGB
However I've had trouble compiling, if anyone can be so kind as to offer a bit of assistance I'd be happy to test my changes for adding preliminary GEN2 support.
Please feel free to fork off mine and poke around, so far I've added missing entries for GEN2 and have added an injected Crystal to the list of compatible games on one of my branches, but more work needs to be done for it to be fully compatible.

Sprites are also missing so I'm unsure how it will react to that once compiled, however if someone who has better knowledge of this can provide some support I'm sure we can get this off the ground until Gocario returns.
Are you going to include a means to inject .PK1 files into the bank to transfer into the game? Or should I just extract the save file and run it though the PokeHex PC program?

So, here's my expectation of this thing, it'll allow me to transfer pokemon from my Yellow VC into my Crystal VC, but this problem is a pain, is there anyone who can tell me what to do to fix this?

Did you copy all the folders to the root of your SD card?

I'm not sure if it has gen 2 support yet
Be real appreciated if it got that support cause i can't afford to buy another 3ds to just transfer pokes from one save file of one game to another, wish there was some way to do this just using homebrew, but I've found nothing, and i can't extract the save file for the specific game cause i can't find the right encrypted folder for crystal

Just use Checkpoint to extract the save files, open two instances of Pkhex and transfer the Mon to one save to the other on and reinject the save

Okay, I downloaded/installed jksv, this, pkhex and it says the main file on the 3ds is unsupported, I don't know what to do with this

I tried to upload the main file that's a .sav in the main folder with the titles in the nintendo 3ds folder, but the program says exactly what is in this screen shot, i don't know what I'm doing wrong

I finally got it to work, I'm such a dumas, I extracted the sav.dat file in the jksv folder, edited and imported it back into the folder

Sorry to dig up a thread that has not been active for several months, but I have a new issue I haven't seen mentioned anywhere.

I am going to attempt a gen1 living Dex. So my first step was to use PHbankGB to export the starters 8 times and then on the 9th restart I put the other 8 starters back in. I waited until after I'd received the Pokédex and caught at least one Pokémon normally, before importing from PHbankGB, in case of any issues caused by importing before you'd normally be able to receive new Pokémon.

However, after importing, some Pokémon are showing as level 0. Withdrawing the affected Pokémon and viewing their stats shows an insanely long health bar that glitches over more than one line, the status shows as burned, and the first move is missing and the second move in the first slot. Healing the Pokémon at the pokecenter appears to fix the health bar but the Pokémon then gains 30 levels but with the same stats it had before and still missing a move.

I am using the beta version from the first post.

Edit: Upon further investigation, simply withdrawing the Pokémon causes the level increase. Each one has been random, ranging from 30 levels to 45 levels.

I have since cleared out the bank file and restarted from scratch to see what happens. I will update this post with my results.

Are you ever gonna make PHBankGB for a gold, silver, and crystal. It was really easy to manage pokemon with Red, Blue, and yellow. It would be nice to see support for Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

This is old. No support will be coming anytime

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
